Little ZuZu Bailey was onto something. Not only does her innocent expression of faith embody the magic of the holiday season, it doubles as a how-to guide for heavenly home décor.

Angel-themed accents aren’t just for Christmas trees, gardens and gaudy, gold-plated nouveau riche homes. Adding just the right touches — a doorknocker here, or Tiffany-style stained glass lamp there — can create charm without transforming your sanctuary into the Sistine Chapel.

4. Sleek. Timeless. The Tiffany Holiday Ornament Bell ($225) is that classic silver bell reminiscent of the very one that tinkled on the Baileys’ tree when Clarence earned his wings. Call (800) 843-3269 or visit tiffany.com.

5. For seating with a more traditional take on wings that was a fixture in 1940s furnishings, there’s Hickory Chair’s Sophie Wing (starting at $1,650) available at Hampton House Furniture in Montclair. The 19th-century-inspired seat with scrolled arms and hand-turned mahogany legs would fit seamlessly in George Bailey’s living room, according to Hampton House co-owner Joan Fisch, whose father-in-law, Carl Fisch, opened the furniture store a year after Frank Capra’s silver screen classic debuted. “Right after the war it was gracious living. The GIs had the money. They married their high school sweethearts and bought homes. Everybody wanted a piece of America,’’ Fisch said. “It was a wonderful life (in the late ‘40s) because they were more family- and home-oriented. I think a comfortable wing (chair) is a nice thing to represent the ‘40s.” Hampton House Furniture, 467 Bloomfield Ave., Montclair; call (973) 744-0900 or visit hamptonhousemontclair.com.
